Innovative Energy

I was talking to a friend the other day, and he asked me about my travel plans for the summer. Long story short, I have a lot of plans, and a lot of camping trips. He noticed that most of my trips are mostly outside and involve motorcycles and tents, and asked why. It is just what I like to do. I enjoy the outdoors. Especially in the American Southwest.
I got thinking.
At first, I started traveling and camping because it was fun. Then I brought my camera to show people that there is a whole other world out there besides the beach. (Some of you might remember when I would send mass amounts of emails with images attached...)
I started researching and traveling to strange places for awesome landscape photography.

People tell me all the time that they are impressed by my traveled check list. So when I was hanging out with my friend, and he asked why I camp so much, I began to realize that for me, being outside and traveling anywhere is where I get my renewing innovative creative energy. I don't climb to the top of mountains for photography, I do it just because I feel like it. That is my attitude and spirit, to just go. My creative passion comes from the earth and everything on its giant playground because I find everything about the planet interesting, not for capturing images with my camera.

My curious, visual, nomadic self will travel to all of the corners of the earth.

Here are some images over the progression of my work "on the road."
